Text Monkey PRO   
http://www.boxersoftware.com

Text Monkey PRO is a clever program that cleans up ugly, over-quoted email text. The program also includes 40+ other handy functions. Text Monkey operates on text as it resides on the Windows clipboard, so it extends the functionality of every program you use. Example 1: You just received an important email, but it's been forwarded and quoted so many times it's almost impossible to read. With Text Monkey, cleanup is a snap: just copy the message to the clipboard and paste back the cleaned text. How could it be so simple? Text Monkey senses when messy email text has been copied to the clipboard and cleans the text automatically, or upon your confirmation. Example 2: You have several paragraphs of text that you need to publish as a web page on short notice. Simply copy the text to the clipboard, click a button in Text Monkey, and you'll find that all the appropriate tags have been added to make a legal HTML document. (Text Monkey also handles the opposite case: it can remove HTML tags from a web document so that only the readable text remains.) Example 3: You're editing a list of items in the memo field of a large application. You realize that you'd like to number the list (or sort it, or delete duplicates, or indent it, or convert its character case, or...). Not to worry: just copy the text to clipboard, click a button in Text Monkey, and paste back the result. In addition to email clean-up, Text Monkey Pro includes dozens of other useful functions, all related to cleaning, formatting, or filtering text. Most of its functions require the click of just a single button. One button converts plain text to an HTML document, applying all the tags necessary to preserve formatting and create a web-publishable document. Other commands are available to sort, auto-number, delete blank lines, delete duplicate lines, count occurrences of strings, convert tabs to spaces, perform case conversions, encode/decode special HTML characters, and more.

Slam-dunk the most challenging edit tasks with TextPipe Engine - a powerful text-processing engine that combines 100+ conversion, translation and filtering operations on multiple text or binary files. Update web site text using search and replace, which supports perl pattern matching, sounds-like matching and edit-distance matching, and search/replace lists loaded from Excel/CSV/Tab files. Convert files from foreign computer systems between mainframe fixed-length formats and DOS, Macintosh and Unix line-feed formats. Filters can split or join files, add or remove lines or columns, remove blanks from the start or end of each line, remove blank lines, remove HTML tags, remove duplicate lines, add line numbers, sort, center or right justify text, word wrap, convert between ASCII and EBCDIC, OEM and ANSI, Unicode and ANSI, remap ANSI or Unicode characters, extract email addresses, expand or contract tabs, remove backspaces, remove binary characters, pad or truncate or force lines to a predetermined width, generate word lists and much more. Restrict changes to line or column ranges, CSV- or tab-delimited fields, lines that match or do not match a pattern, and search replacements (allowing replacement text to be capitalized etc). TextPipe can be fully automated via a web page, the command-line or scripted via a COM interface. Handles files larger than 2 GB. XML, CSV, tab-delimited or fixed width database extracts can be generated using the database connection filter. User-defined filters can be written in VBScript or JScript. Audit logs keep track of the filter lists run, files modified and changes made. More than 200 example filter files are included along with a comprehensive online manual.

TEXTools   
http://www.fireflysoftware.com

While the other guys are still declaring variables, get the job done with TEXTools -- the powerful, pipe-based text processing workbench for Windows that allows you to morph text into other forms by simply combining filters. Do things to text like you've never done before with a minimal number of lines of code. Easier to develop, maintain and debug than traditional code, pipes are the ultimate solution to those everyday text editing problems. TEXTools' streamlined user interface seamlessly integrates 69 text translation filters, giving you the power to easily accomplish the most challenging editing tasks. Search and replace text in web pages, convert between CSV, comma-delimited, tab-delimited and fixed-width files, extract logfile data, manipulate XML data, convert between PC, Mac and Unix text files, edit mailing lists, extract email addresses, maintain lists of keywords, format source code, automate interactive processes -- all this and more by simply combining filters! Filters can do things like change text case, sort lines, remove duplicates, output unique lines, truncate lines, pad lines to a given width, trim spaces from lines, justify text, add or remove lines or columns, reorder columns, join or split lines, perform base conversions, total columns of numbers, perform math operations on numeric data, count lines, add line numbers, etc. You can even extend TEXTools by creating your own user-defined filters (UDFs) from 32-bit console executables, VBScripts, JScripts and by combining other TEXTools filters! Filters fully support regular expressions and they can either operate on the entire input text or be limited to just isolated blocks of text. TEXTools can be invoked from batch files using TEXTools Command Line (TCL), or automated from languages such as VBScript, JScript, Perl, Python, Visual Basic, Delphi, C++, etc. Why write code to process text when you can "pipe" it?
